André (Durand), droppers kom altyd handig te pas om banner tape aan vas te maak. Ek sal by Kobus hoor of hy nog oorhet van laasjaar, anders sal ons van jou aanbod gebruik maak.

Thanks André (Stefaansie), we always appreciate help on the day of the event. There'll be 10 vehicles, their drivers & navigators, plus lots of spectators and their kids hanging around at the obstacle to distract us. An extra pair of eyes/ears/hands are always welcome. Even if it's just to make sure that nobody steals our meat off the braai grid

Charles (Martyn), we'll check out the obstacle this weekend and decide on a plan of action. Then we’ll let you know whether we require the services of your landcape engineer.

Grant, thanks for the offer – the 4th will be the main day!

Will most probably see you guys there, want to have a good look at the Patrol in action as the "gogga" has bitten and I am thinking of getting me one.....

[ChristoSlang]

Nog helpende hande - dankie ouens!

We could still do with some more people this weekend. It will be a strategy session to decide what to do with our obstacle - an hour or two and no manual labour involved!

Manne, die baan vir die AAWDC Fun Day is sommer daar aan jou regterkant waar jy inry by Rhino Park. Hy's teen aan die teer dienspad, nog voor jy by die McCarthy klubhuis & Rhino Park self se kafeteria kom. Daar's 'n vliegveld verder regs (Suid) van die baan, die Rhino Park motorfietsbaan & kafeteria voor jou (verder Oos) en die berg 'n hele ent links van jou (Noord).

Dit lyk of die ouens van McCarthy onlangs aan die obstacles daar gewerk het - daar is baie nuwe, los sand oral. Daar is ook sommer 'n lekker groot dam (so 'n halwe rugbyveld se size) gegrawe wat gereed lyk vir water.

Ons obstacle (Nr. 1) is naaste aan die kafeteria (en reg langs daai dam in wording). Hy bestaan uit twee bulte - die eerste een lyk so (mens benader hom van regs op die skerm, die minder steil afrykant is naaste aan ons):

1ste bult

Daar's so tien meter gaping tussen die twee bulte, en die tweede bult is net helfte so hoog soos die eerste en het harder grond. Hier's die 2de een se inrykant (geneem van dieselfde staanplek, kamera net bietjie links geswaai):

2de bult

Die eerste bult het twee verskillende hellings - die eerste helfte is minder steil met sulke rooierige grond, die laaste steiler gedeelte is van los, witterige sand.

Ons het klaar ons beplanning gedoen: Andre gaan bietjie sweis, ek bou 'n teiken, ens. Daar's reeds paaltjies ingeplant, en komende Saterdag wil ons bymekaar kom en alles afhandel sodat ons dit dan self kan toets-ry en evalueer.

Dankie vir almal se hulp sover, sien julle by die boom...

Are you allowed to tell us what we will need to be able to do on this obstacle?
That first obstacle used to have a few twsiters in. It seems to be flat now.
So it looks quite straight forward. Or how will we be making it more "interesting"?

[Kagiso II]

Lexi - smaak vi oompi die manne gaan die EEN trik wat jy NIE kan doen nie daa inbring .. jy moet 'nteiken kan raak gooi met iets
